I felt so welcomed at Shirley’s. The photos of the cottage do not do justice to how lovely it is. It is designed so beautifully and has everything you would need for a stay. To have the fire going and tūī feeding in the tree right outside the window on a winters day was truely idyllic. Thanks for having me.

I had an incredible weekend away from the city in Shirley and Tim’s cottage. It was everything I could have hoped for. I felt very lucky to get to experience their hospitality and share in the beautiful slice of life they enjoy. What can I say that hasn’t been said? Just book this place you won’t regret it!

This property is well over and above expectation. Everything is top of the range. Beautiful linen, towels etc. Very well equiped kitchen. Comfy (felt like new,) bed. Very cosy with wood burner and heat pump. Fresh flowers beautifully arranged. Just a few minutes drive to town. Gorgeous quiet, private garden. Highly recommend.

The hostess was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The setting was lovely being in the orchard and flower gardens. The attention to detail, fresh flowers in each room, original art on the walls,and an excellent comfortable bed made a good nights sleep. Everything you might need was in the kitchen. Media,games and books were provided.
We will be delighted to return again

We loved our 3 night stay. Our dogs got to come with us and without the owners looking after our dogs we wouldnt have been able to do the Driving Creek Railway. We were so grateful to Shirley and her husband for doing this for us. Would definitely come back again, and DEFINITELY recommend staying here.

The cottage is really great value for money - well priced but extremely well appointed. It felt like staying in a home away from home, there was nothing that we could have wanted that wasn't available - a complete kitchen, very comfortable bed, nice size bathroom (shower), and comfortable open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with fireplace, satellite TV, etc. The cottage is spacious, and the fresh cut flowers was a nice touch. We dined on the covered porch overlooking a lovely English style garden with birdsong and an adjacent orchard. Shirley the host was very pleasant and always up for a friendly chat and making sure we had everything we needed. This was the best holiday accommodation we've stayed at. Highly recommended.

Tim & Shirley were lovely and helpful hosts.
